It's so good to be back doing Illustration Friday again! I have been off the radar a bit lately designing up a storm in my new job but I am ready to focus on my illustrative endeavors again and have plenty of new ideas to keep my paintbrush busy. I thought the above illustration was a great one to show for this weeks word 'Identical' as it is my first ever attempt at painting on plywood. I created this piece by scanning in my pencils, creating colour layers, then printing each layer and making stencils using contact paper and my trusty cutter. I painted each stencil layer with acrylic. I plan to keep perfecting this technique as I hope to put on a solo exhibition next year showcasing works on plywood. Hope you like it!

About Me

I am an Illustrator living in Sydney. My passion lies in editorial and children's book illustration. Through this blog I will share my work process, starting with concept sketches, techniques, right through to the final product. It will be my online sketch book for anyone interested in how my brain works (be afraid!).
